130 peak back
Yufu Palace.
In two days there is autumn evening, and the moon is almost full.
The children had already gone to sleep, and Chu Xue stood alone outside the hall, looking up at the lonely bright moon in the night sky. Yan Ling walked from behind, sighed lightly, and persuaded her while putting on a thick coat: "Deeper exposure, master, be careful to cool your body." ”
She murmured, "When the moon is full, it will be lacking, and it is the same for people, I have been perfect before, and now it is time to be missing." ”
Yan Ling frowned, "Master, don't say that, you see, the emperor has already re-investigated the general's case, and it won't be long before the general's name can be repeated, and even this matter can be realized, how can you still lack it?" From now on, you will be truly complete. ”
"But he ......"
Halfway through her words, she swallowed back, withdrew her gaze, turned and entered the temple, and commanded, "The hour is not early, serve me to change my clothes." ”
I wanted to persuade her to wait, but after all, this was a matter of two people, so I didn't persuade anymore, and followed her into the dormitory to remove her makeup and change clothes.
Hearing the words "The emperor has arrived", Yan Ling paused, hurriedly put down the comb, and said to her with a smile: "Look, this is not coming, the master is going to pick it up." So saying, he picked her up and went to the gate of the temple.
"The concubines greet the emperor." When Song Chen's footsteps stopped, he heard her whisper.
She lowered her head, and Song Chen stood, still able to smell the faint fragrance coming from her long loose hair, what a familiar and comforting smell that could only be found in this place.
He didn't speak, he only raised his hand, and the palace people around him understood and retreated one after another. She was still kneeling, and when she saw his hand stretched out in front of her, her heart suddenly warmed, and she also stretched out her hand, and he led her into the dormitory.
He didn't speak, and he still didn't know how to face her with her real identity, and at this time there was no one in the hall except for the yellow light, and he was against her, and when he saw that she was still lowering his eyes, he reached out and lifted her chin. Her eyes were a little swollen, and although a day had passed, she could still tell that she had been crying for a long time, and he sighed and said, "Won't you take care of yourself, is it good to cry like this?" ”
All the preparations made in her heart before, the various embankments that had been built suddenly collapsed after hearing his words, and tears welled up again, she threw herself into his arms and cried: "Your Majesty ......"
Have you forgiven me?
The layers of his clothes were wet with her tears, and he felt helpless, so she cried for a while before asking, "Didn't I already retry that case for your father, why do you still cry?" is already a mother of three children, why is she still like a little girl? ”
She sobbed: "The concubine thinks that the emperor will not forgive me and will never come again?" ”
He sighed again, "If I don't come, where else can I go here?" He seemed to be a little indignant, gritted his teeth and said, "You bad woman, you have deceived me for so long, and now you have even given birth to three children, do you want to drive me out again?" ”
She turned from sadness to joy, and couldn't help laughing, but there were still crystal tears on her face, hugged his waist tightly, and said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine hopes that the emperor will never leave." ”
The strength that bound her also increased suddenly, and he hugged her tightly, and the hall was speechless for a while, leaving only a long and extraordinarily precious hug.
Tonight's actions have explained everything, she finally stopped worrying, and when she calmed down in his arms, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something unclear......
"I don't know how I know about Yue Wen?" He spoke for her. She nodded, looking at him with sparkling eyes, waiting for him to answer.
His heart fluttered slightly, and he lowered his head to kiss her cherry lips.
In fact, before last night, he was not sure that she was Yue Wen, to be precise, he knew that her identity was a mystery, but he did not know the exact answer. As for when and why he had doubts about her identity, it could be traced back to when he returned to Beijing before he ascended the throne, and the Xu family found the real Chu Xue's young nurse.
Although the palace is not as good as the palace, but the rules are also strict, not just a person can enter, at that time the mansion was cold stuffed into an old woman, although it was her nurse, but the person was brought by Xu Jinhe from the Peiguo Mansion, just such a strange thing is enough for him to check it out, of course, he didn't think of her life experience at the time, just in case, afraid of being put in the mansion by the person with a heart Wang Eyeliner.
Naturally, Mama Zheng is not anyone's eyeliner, although she was sent back to Chu Mansion after only staying in the palace for a few days, Song Chen's people still got some clues from the old days after some investigation. For example, Mama Zheng and dozens of other subordinates originally stayed well in Chu's house, but they were all sent out because of a smallpox incident in Chu Xue, for example, Chu Xue was originally weak since she was a child, and there are only a few people who can survive smallpox, and she went to the suburbs of Beijing for treatment for more than a month, and her illness was cured......
There is also that Chu Lin has a niece, who is Yue Lan's daughter Yue Wen, who is the same age as Chu Xue, and it is said that when the Yingyue Bloody Incident occurred, the remains of the little girl were found at the bottom of a mountain a few days after the incident, and she was not in the same place with the rest of the Yue family......
The Chu family concealed it very well, completely covered up the truth, and let even his people investigate, they could only find clues and no conclusions.
His loyal subordinates had warned him that there might be a possibility, but although he was shocked at the time, he was not as angry as others had guessed. First of all, it's just a fruitless speculation, most of the possibilities, she is still Chu Xue's, isn't it? After all, he can also see that the kind of family affection between her and Chu Lin and his wife is completely flesh and blood, will anyone in the world raise other people's children as their own children? He wasn't quite convinced.
Secondly, even if she is really an orphan of the Yue family, so what? Chu Lin still supported him to get the world, and the most important thing is that he loves this woman, loves everything about her, does he care who her name is?
I didn't believe it in my heart, but when a series of events such as the death of the first emperor and his succession to the throne came one after another, he put this matter aside. Coupled with the fire at the Sheng'an Temple that night, he almost lost her, and at that time he realized that the feeling of half of his heart being hollowed out was too tormenting, so he told himself that he didn't care whether she was the girl who escaped death or not.
Later, it was their new life in this palace, she gave birth to Le'er, lost a child, and gave birth to Xuan'er and An An, as the year passed, that incident had long been sealed in the dust. But when Liao Zhong's case was uncovered and Xu Jinhe died, this old incident was mentioned again.
At that time, in front of Xing Feng, Xu Jinhe drank the cup of poisoned wine and said, "Tell him for me, how good does he think the woman he is protecting with all his heart?" She's not just a fake! She is simply the remnant of the Yue family, a fox spirit who came to bewitch the Lord and overthrow the world! He wants to fly with her in the old night? She sneered, "Tell you, even if this palace dies, he will turn into a ghost, and he will wait and see how he and that woman will turn against each other one day!" She's a fake, a fake......"
The last words this woman left in the world were this hoarse shout.
Xu Jinhe knew that Xing Feng was the most loyal guard, and his words before his death would reach Song Chen's ears anyway, although he didn't have a certain certainty, as long as Song Chen heard these words, he would inevitably not investigate, no matter whether Chu Xue was the remnant of the Yue family, she was the best, and finding out was a felony of the Jiu clan, even if it couldn't be found, these words could always make Song Chen have some suspicions, and the feelings of the two people, she didn't believe it, Song Chen would love her so much that she didn't have any principles, and she wouldn't care about it.
But Xu Jinhe was still wrong, Song Chen's love really reached the point where he could ignore her identity.
And his anger last night was actually angry at her distrust. She is really Yue Wen, and she is indeed the little girl who escaped death through hardship, but since she has already handed herself over to him, why didn't she say this for a long time? Was he afraid that he would be disgusted, or did he think he would kill her?
Why didn't she ask herself for help early, she didn't say it until she had to say it, and she was honest that she was afraid that she didn't care about the Yue family's affairs.
But when he returned to the Qinzheng Palace to calm down, all he had left in his heart was distress, distress for everything that the little girl in the story had suffered when she was a child, and distressed that she had survived to this day with the identity of someone else.
He thought at the time that since it was wrong at the beginning, it was better to keep being wrong, after all, if it wasn't for this mistake, he would not have met her in this life, so he forgave it.
But when the turmoil had subsided, and now she asked, he was not in a hurry to answer, and a little sense of revenge rose, she had hidden herself for so long, and she had to make her suffer a little.
When the kiss was over, he coughed and said, "You have deceived me for so long, and I want to give you a taste of what you don't know, and I don't plan to tell you about this." ”
She pursed her lips slightly to look at him, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and was a little sneering, and lowered her eyes and said: "If the emperor doesn't say it, he won't say it, and the concubine will be punished." ”
"What kind of punishment is this?" He chuckled, "Can this little punishment be worth your felony of bullying?" ”
The tone of the words "bullying the monarch and serious crimes" seemed to be extraordinarily heavy, she was stunned, and then raised her eyes to look at him, a little worried, "Then how does the emperor plan to deal with his concubines?" ”
Her voice was soft, and she sounded worried, and that was right, she knew she had made a mistake, and it was for him to be useful. He slammed the person into his arms, pinched her chin, gritted his teeth, and said, "I will punish you, and you will not be allowed to leave my side for the rest of your life, you are my person in life, and I am my ghost in death." ”
She wanted to laugh, but he gagged her, and the sweetness of her heart was drowned in the lingering kiss, and she said in her heart, "One life is not enough, I will be with you in the next life." ”
Each other has a feeling of being lost and regained, and in the gauze tent this night, the love is extraordinarily tight.
Because she didn't sleep all night the night before, by the time the bed returned to tranquility, Chu Xue was extremely tired, but Song Chen didn't let her fall asleep immediately, because there was one more thing to explain.
Song Chen hugged her and said: "Your life experience, although I can accept it, but the Queen Mother is not so easy to explain, and there are hundreds of military officials and people in the world who are Chinese the court, if you suddenly tell them, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, and besides, whether it was an unjust case in the past, but Chu Lin deceived the emperor after all, if someone wants to impeach, I'm afraid I ......."
She understood what he meant, and took the initiative to say: "The concubine understands that as long as the emperor can retry her father's case for the concubine, the concubine doesn't care if she can be Yue Wen, her parents raise the concubine as her own, and the concubine is willing to be the daughter of the Chu family and Chu Xue for the rest of her life." ”
Later, he raised his eyes and looked at him, and said seriously: "The concubine is the emperor's Xue'er, and she will always be." ”
"Okay." He lowered his head, kissed his Cher again, and hugged her to sleep.

With the king's decree, those who were worried about the emperor in the past have completely understood that the emperor is indeed a rare emperor. Since they want to be retried, they will act immediately, after all, the people who want to overturn the case have already been in their hands, and there is Chi Yu to corroborate it, within three days, the third division got the most critical confession, Zhao Xuan, who has been imprisoned in the prison, admitted that he did participate in the framing of Yue Lan and plotted rebellion, and Yue Lan's handwriting in those letters was indeed forged, and the mastermind behind everything was indeed Xu Jilin.
